The "PAN solution"
only uses Purple, Blue and Green against the PAN band.
The PAN solution uses all the information contained in these four wavebands.
as illustrated in the image below,
where grey pixels have been processed by the "PAN solution" with very low threshold Lmpan=0.5,
and red pixels by the "RED solution" with high threshold Lmred=5.0.
Water column correction: retrieved depth
Performance of the PAN band reaches ~30 m over very bright bottoms in this OIB+0.1 water type of Jerlov
Profile Blue over Dry Tortugas National Park
Water column correction: shallow bottom reflectance

 the GREEN solution on Profile Blue bands 1 and 2 versus GREEN the DTM profiles are shown in red |  the PAN solution on Profile Blue bands 1, 2 and 3 versus PAN the DTM profiles are shown in red |
| The GREEN solution yields poorly contrasted water column corrected bottom signatures: bottom typing shall be mainly be based on brightness | The PAN solution reveals more contrasted water column corrected bottom signatures: this enhances the potential for bottom typing |
